LYRA-CAL MOMENTS

4 Comments

LYRA  isn’t one of those names you instantly associate with something when you first hear it. Mention the name a second time and it begins to sound familiar yet distant but believe it or not, LYRA is German and it’s a brand that’s 200 years old, 202 to be exact this year! Even less known is the fact that Lyra has been a pencil manufacturer since 1806 and is today “the world wide specialist for colours and products in kindergarten, school, hobby and industry.”

At present day, specifically earlier today, Lyra made its first public appearance in a National Day Logo coloring competition jointly organised by Early Childhood Publications Co., an exclusive distributor of Lyra range of products, and Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sports.

It’s a productive Sunday. My daughter, Jewel, as the request of her school registered for the contest and she walked away with a consolation prize–we’re still not convinced colouring is one of her strong suits but most importantly she had fun doing it and got me out of the house with the 5D/70-200mm pointed at something completely different.

Much like Kodak, its yellow colour is eye catching. Much more interesting a colour choice than its German rival, Staedtler, that we remember so well from school days.

  3. Hi Nash!

    Yes I was and what an amazing event that was eh? A black Tri X Challenge polo hanging in my closet makes sure I always remember how I overcame my own challenges during the entire course of the event shoot (parts of which my wife assisted).

    I was also the official photog at the HSBC Walkathon that began from HSBC Seria to HSBC Serusop from two years earlier I believe!
